Chapter 82: Cao Xing

The number of talents in the imperial army far exceeded the expectations of Liu Bei and others, and it made Li Dao feel even more incomprehensible: "That little emperor, where did you find so many outstanding people?"

I saw Xiahou Xuan lifting his spear upside down, and scolded Li Daojun with a disdainful expression: "The dignified Xiliang Army, there is not a single character who can come out to fight me?"

After scolding for a while but never seeing any movement on the other side, Xiahoudun felt very bored, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a bright light flashing in the corner of his eye, although he couldn't see what it was, but Xiahoudun reacted instinctively - dodged sideways, he just tilted his head, and felt a sharp arrow pass his ear, and even felt the sharp arrow rubbing against his helmet.

"Despicable villain, only dare to sneak attack with secret arrows!"

Pulling the horse and gun, Xiahoudun followed the direction of the hidden arrow to find the person who released the arrow, but before he could find it, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, and someone should have urged the horse to rush out.

At this time, the two armies faced each other, originally far away, and Xiahoudun was also attacked by a secret arrow because he rushed between the two armies, so everyone saw the imperial army rushing out of the horse, and immediately the bow was bent and the arrow was bent, and then a burst of blue-white light flashed on the bow and arrow condensed on the arrow, and finally turned into a crescent-like appearance.

Then he shouted: "Shuzi'an dares to hurt people with a secret arrow, eat a certain arrow!" Before the words fell, the sound of the bowstring sounded, and a blue and white light instantly crossed between the two armies.

The speed of the arrow shot out was extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, it had already flown from the side of the imperial army to the side of Li Daojun.

Such a fast speed, coupled with such a strange change, what is even more surprising is that this arrow can shoot so far, so the person on the other side has no response at all, watching the arrow shoot into his heart, the armor on his body almost does not play any role, like mud being pierced by an arrow.

The arrow shot into the body, and then there was a muffled sound, and the people around only saw a blue light exploding on the bow, but this blue light flashed away, and everyone only thought that their eyes were dazzled, and they didn't understand what was going on, but they saw that the person who had released the arrow to attack Xiahoudun before fell down on his head and fell directly from the horse.

"Marksmanship, Marksmanship, Marksman!"

In fact, the imperial army couldn't see the situation on the other side at all, but vaguely saw a person on the opposite side falling from his horse, and regardless of whether the person was dead or not, this side immediately shouted loudly, especially with the tiger and leopard riding to take the lead, many soldiers naturally echoed.

"You can shoot so accurately at such a distance, this person is really powerful!"

Xiahoudun turned his head to take a look, and he recognized this person as Cao Xing, who was currently serving as a servant in the Tiger Ben Army, and was specifically responsible for teaching the Tiger Ben archery technique.

In the past, they didn't deal with each other directly, even if Lu Bu was later put into the emperor's command, Xiahoudun didn't have a good impression of Lu Bu's generals, but today the other party helped him out, and he accepted this person's favor.

What's more important is Cao's surname, which can be a little close.

Just as he was looking, Cao Xing rode his horse to Xiahou and said, "I robbed Captain Xiahou of the credit, and I hope Captain Xiahou doesn't care." ”

Xiahoudun laughed: "What is this, that lot of credit is in front of me, just wait for me to go and get it, not bad for this one." ”

The two of them talked and laughed as if no one was around, as if they were not on the battlefield, but in a tavern.

"It's Brother Cao's arrow just now, it should be the Falling Moon Bow, right?" What Xiahou Xuan cared about was the arrow that Cao Xuan shot just now, which was one of the tricks that Liu Xuan taught them.

In fact, Liu Xuan only taught the second part of the method to a few people close to him, including Lu Bu and Cao Cao, but these two people were very good to their subordinates, and when they saw that everyone had almost cultivated, he taught those skills together.

During the time when he was preparing to go on the expedition, most of them comprehended at least one skill, and Xiahou Yuan didn't understand the Falling Moon Bow, but his brother Xiahou Yuan happened to comprehend this move.

"I didn't expect that there are many capable people under this Lu Bu's tent, and this Cao Xing has also learned the moon bow!"

According to the news obtained from Xiahou Yuan, the Falling Moon Bow and the Sunset Bow have their own characteristics, among which the Falling Moon Bow is faster and more penetrating, while the Sunset Bow will have a violent explosion after hitting the target, and the lethality is stronger.

As for the distance of the attack, this is determined by the user's arm strength and arrows, and the stronger the bow, the farther the arrows will be shot.

Therefore, Cao Xing's ability to shoot so far has nothing to do with skills, it is entirely because of his own strength and a good bow in his hand.

On the contrary, he himself, who had never learned any skills, seemed very depressed, and the sullen breath in his chest was sprinkled on Li Daojun, and he killed four captains in one breath, and then he returned to his own position.

At this time, looking at Li Dao's side, his face was the same as a bitter gourd, looking at the soldiers and horses of the court opposite, neither fighting nor retreating, he only felt uncomfortable for a while, and said to Yang Ding beside him: "Fight, can't fight;

Yang Ding was originally a general under Dong Zhuo's account, but later after Dong Zhuo was trapped in Luoyang by Liu Xuan, he took a chance to escape.

Facts have proved that his choice is very correct, because it is his timely escape from Luoyang that allows him to live comfortably in the northwest now.

But also because he fled in a hurry and couldn't bring too many generals, he could only be attached to Li Dao after coming to the northwest, and he was no longer on an equal footing with Li Dao as before.

At this time, hearing Li Dao's words, Yang Ding was also speechless for a while, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "If you kill Li Dao and surrender to the emperor, I don't think the emperor will be too embarrassed for me, right?"

He said: "Why don't you withdraw your troops for the time being, guard the camp, and then make a plan?"

Li Dao thought about it, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while, and the stunned pestle was not a matter here, could it be that he watched the other party take turns to fight, and then mock himself with all kinds of ugly words? Li Dao is not a masochist, or go back to the camp early, out of sight and out of mind.

With an order, Li Dao's army quickly retreated into the camp, and Liu Xuan was looking at it happily, not wanting Li Dao to withdraw his troops.

"Ran away?"

Xun Yu smiled: "Li Dao was also embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to fight, so he was forced to withdraw his troops." As he spoke, he looked at Lu Bu next to him, he knew that it was precisely because of this Lu Bu that Li Dao was so uncomfortable.

Of course, Liu Xuan could also think of it, and smiled: "But Li Wei will definitely not admit defeat so easily, and he may not use any means." ”

Guo Jia was next to him, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, Weichen guessed that after Li Dao saw that he could not defeat His Majesty head-on, he would definitely make some tricks, and now that the imperial army has just arrived, the soldiers are tired, and today they have confronted it for most of the day, and Li Dao is very likely to sneak attack at night at night." ”

This is also the only method that Li Dao can think of at present, because an upright general can't fight the people of the court. At this time, the morale of the soldiers is too low, if they really fight, don't look at the number of soldiers, they may not collapse before the imperial army.

Then there are only some strategies, and attacking the camp at night is the best choice, not only is it feasible, but once successful, the results achieved are large enough.

So after discussing it for a while, they all felt that it was very likely that Li Dao would attack the camp tonight, so the next thing to do was to prepare in advance, and then wait for Li Dao to attack.

Originally, there was nothing to discuss at this point, and there was no need for Liu Xuan, the emperor, to get involved, go back to rest and sleep, and wait until tomorrow morning to ask about the results of the battle.

Unexpectedly, when a few people were discussing, a guard suddenly said that he had caught Li Daojun's fine work -- this is not a rare thing, the army is fighting, who doesn't send a few fine workers to investigate the enemy's situation? If they are caught, they can deal with it, but this detailed work is said to be here to deliver a letter.

"What letter?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a while what was going on, but Liu Bei seemed to have guessed, while Xun Yu and Guo Jia were smiling, and turned their heads to Liu Xuan and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Li Dao can be removed tonight!"

Liu Xuan also guessed a little, and when he heard Xun Yu say this, he immediately understood: "I don't know who sent it, bring the person who sent the letter in." ”

As soon as the words fell, the guard pushed a young man with a lot of flowers in, and then pushed forward, and fell to the ground with a pop - but the young man was also so stubborn that he held on without saying a word, and immediately after falling to the ground, he raised his head and looked around at everyone in the tent.

"It's a bit arrogant. ”

When everyone in the tent saw this young man like this, their eyes were somewhat appreciative, only Liu Xuan snorted coldly and shouted: "You are conspiring against the thief, and you dare to be so arrogant when you see me?"

The young man was originally arrogant, especially after noticing that several people in the tent looked at him differently, but he didn't want to sit on the main seat and look at the young man who was about to chop off his head as soon as he opened his mouth, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "My lord has a message to pass on to the princes, which is related to the overall situation in the northwest, but if you want to know, you have to do something......

Liu Xuan directly waved his hand to interrupt this person's words: "Where is there so much nonsense, it's just that Li Dao's thief is going to sneak attack the camp tonight, such a small skill, can't I really see it?"

After a pause, he looked coldly at the sweaty young man: "Go back and tell Yang Ding, if you want to surrender, you will make a surrender appearance, and dare to play such a trick against me, do you think that after my army sets foot on Li Dao's camp, he can still live alone?"

The young man's face turned a little paler when he said this, but he immediately came to his senses, and it seemed that he wanted to let himself go back? Doesn't that mean that his life was saved? Hearing this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank Your Majesty for not killing, thank Your Majesty for not killing!"

When everyone saw that this person came in, it was the same at this time, and when they looked at it again, they couldn't help but feel a little more contempt, and this person also felt ashamed, and immediately followed the soldiers out of the imperial army camp after Liu Xuan's forgiveness.
